So Fred (Dalton) Thompson's formed an exploratory committee?

He has a better chance than Rudy

Fred's idea of an exploratory committee is to look into the next 20 year old that he'll be marrying as soon as he dumps the last one! How many times does one man need to be married? I think he and Giuliani are in a race of some sorts to be the man that has married more women than any other man!

He could end up being like Bill Clinton. He is basically coming out of nowhere and who knows, he could be number 44. It's smarter for any one running for public office to enter the race later while watching surveys about what people like and what they don't. This way a candidate can avoid many of the pitfalls that the early candidates make.

He'd make a great politician. He formed an "exploratory committee." Which means he hasn't made a decision. What else is new???

He has a good chance. First of all, normally a democrat would win because Bush has been a disaster but too many people just dislike Hillary and her personality. Obama has two strikes against him in that he is black and his name is Obama. it shouldn't be that way but it is. So maybe Thompson has a good shot, he is a republican who really isn't associated with Bush and a lot of people who aren't very political might vote for him because they like him as an actor.

Bring him on!

Let's see how good he is under a bit of pressure, instead of siiting on the sidelines bitching about everybody else!

The Republicans' Great White Hope!

Steve's answer is all the more frightening because it's a likely scenario.
